(+) Yeah! (+)

I just found this wonderful gif of Verlander on a train (nsfw)

He's such a goddamn legend. HOF player with a great personality who gets to bang Kate Upton whenever he wants for the rest of his life

That's a weird gif. The motion and the grabbing looks good but they couldn't erase the fucking outline? That's like the easiest part

It also rules that he waived his no trade shit to go win a world series last year. That almost never works out.

Fuck you Steelers for being unwilling to pay Le'Veon Bell fairly, destroying my fantasy season

Glad my draft isn't until tonight

I fucking hate replay in MLB. They have all these stupid as shit rules about "pace of play" but nothing grinds the game to a halt like their pointless reviews. And they don't even get the call right half the time.

Remember that very old Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner and Patty date each other? I don't know exactly why but something lead to that popping into my head. Man, that's such a weird fucking episode. It's a weird premise (an episode about Patty?) and has some weird stuff in it like I think that's the one where Springfield Elementary randomly has a clock tower. Probably one of the most forgettable episodes (which I know is contradictory to me remembering it, but you know, just in general).

Anyways what are your picks for weirdest/most forgettable classic Simpsons eps?

Someone in my league took Le'veon in the 2nd but also got Conner, so they have a safety net, but still pretty bold

I still like the idea of replay in baseball but I don't understand why it currently takes so long. They should have eyes on every game so that when the umps call in, some people have already been looking at the replays and they can make their verdict in 30 seconds like everyone watching on TV can. I don't know if that's how they already do it, but it feels like they have room to streamline whatever their current process is.

The person I play this week picked Le'von as his first pick so hopefully this week will be a win for me.

I too like the idea of replay, but I agree with why it takes so long for a verdict. Plus as previously mentioned half the time the call is wrong and not even by a small margin.

I like that one but yes it's very odd I agree. I really like the one where Harvey Fierstein plays Homer's assistant Carl. It may be Karl with a K. Either way he's a really great one off character but hardly anyone ever thinks of him.

That is also a pretty weird (but good) episode.

Trevor Story hit 3 homers today including a 505-footer. That's 5 in the series against the Giants. Rox haven't lost in September but now shit's really about to go down with some series against the Dodgers and D-Backs coming up

that dinger was insane. Until recently, I had no idea he was having a really good year

I knew I liked Josh Rutledge better

He's actually got a higher WAR than Arenado now

I think he had 4.2 when I checked last night and it wasn't updated yet. That's crazy, so that one game was worth 0.5 WAR?

And Arenado has been pedestrian since August unfortunately

Yeah. It can happen with a monster game. I remember one time Justin Upton had like a 1.1 WAR game because he had like 5 hits 2 homers 2 steals and like made some insane defensive plays. There was a fangraphs post about it

Did any of you play Until Dawn and if so is it worth 20 bucks?

I would say it's definitely worth $20. I really liked it a lot.

Its kinda like a telltale game but with much higher quality and voice/motion capture

If youve played Detroit: Become Human its kinda similar to that, but in the slasher genre

this football game is a snoozefest. when does baseball start

Yeah I'm having trouble paying attention. Maybe I'll be more into the Packers game.

It's a good plan. A much better plan than not blocking him.

this is true

The Aaron Rodgers rule has ruined the NFL

that's also true

I finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 in time to start Spider-Man this weekend. Folks if you aren't in on Yakuza by now you're just making a fool of yourself. Pick up Yakuza Zero some day. I won't even make you thank me for the wonderful idea once you see how good these games are

I heard spiderman is supposed to be cool

just turned on football. Looks like I missed a lot!

I played Until Dawn a few months ago. It was pretty good for a playthrough, but getting the platinum trophy was kinda boring. I think I've seen it much cheaper than $20 plenty of times, so if you're not sold on it you could wait for a better deal.

I do want to play the Yakuza games but there's so much other stuff to play. My friend who works at gamestop just hooked me up with a code for God of War, so I'll probably play that next.

the darkening of grass of the yards needed to get to the first down marker is fucking stupid. The yellow line is not good enough? What is this shit

It's terrible, I agree

It's called NBC's The Green Zone. It's a new innovation to show us where the first down is. Oh wait that's been around for decades.

Well, I am just glad they gave it a clever name. Not as good as NBCEE It, though

I like Green Hill Zone

I guess they just didn't want the second line for the line of scrimmage but that system looks way better than this green zone nonsense

Also NFL refs still don't know what a catch is

I spent 90% of my time in Sonic in Green Hill Zone as a kid because I sucked

Julio Jones got robbed. That's a catch

I've never played a Sonic game

I need Jay Ajayi to get a goal-line touch here. I regretted drafting him the second I took him

I regretted drafting Le'Veon Bell from the moment I looked on at the news on Wednesday and realized I dun fucked up

i have him in both my leagues FML. I have really good WRs but no RBs fell to me (and one of them was autodraft)

yayyyy
